Welcome to the Play In A Week website, source of information and photos of upcoming
and previous Play In A Week events.
Play in a Week is a annual, week-long event held at the Nomad Theatre in East Horsley,
Surrey, in the UK, involving local disability organisations including The Grange Centre, the
Queen Elizabeth Foundation and the Freewheelers. The week of rehearsals, set-building,
painting and technical work culminates in the performance of the play in our 120
seat auditorium, with a full audience.
This year's performance was entitled
The Key.
Play in a Week is part of our 'Let Loose' programme, letting loose as many disabled
people's talents as we can. It includes Taster Days to introduce organisations to
drama, whole and half day series of workshops for individual and groups of organisations,
talks to disability and other organisations, the Acting for All workshops for two
weeks at Easter, and then every summer, Play in a Week. All the workshops are run
by our professional tutors with experience of dealing with disabled people. We have
other related activities in the pipeline. Some 12 organisations are now involved
with us in one way or an other.
